Can You Get to Brandi Carlile at the State Theatre From Downtown Minneapolis Without a Car? Nov. 17 and 18
Brandi Carlile brings her Burn the Setlist (The All Request Tour) to the State Theatre on Hennepin Avenue for two nights: Tuesday, Nov. 17, and Wednesday, Nov. 18, both at 8 p.m. If you are coming to town for a show like this, or you live nearby and would rather skip the parking ramp, a furnished studio at Oakland’s on 9th puts you downtown, no car needed.
When is Brandi Carlile playing in Minneapolis?
According to the Hennepin Arts event page, the concert is presented by Hennepin Arts at the State Theatre, 805 Hennepin Ave., with performances on Tuesday, Nov. 17 and Wednesday, Nov. 18 at 8 p.m. Tickets are limited to eight per purchase.
One thing worth knowing before you go: the listing says this is a phone-free experience, and phones, smart watches and accessories are not permitted in the performance space. Plan for that when it comes to rideshare, tickets and babysitters.
Do you need a car to get to the State Theatre?
Not if you stay downtown. Oakland’s on 9th sits at 215 South 9th Street, in the same downtown core as the Hennepin Theatre District, so you can walk, take a short rideshare, or use Metro Transit instead of circling for a space. Hennepin Arts also publishes its own parking and transit guide for the district, and Metro Transit’s trip planner can map your route for the day you travel. Dress warm for a November night. The skyway is one block away, but the building is not directly connected to it, so expect a short walk outside to reach it.
Why stay in a furnished studio instead of a hotel?
Because a concert weekend is only one reason to be downtown. Every studio is fully furnished with a full kitchen, and WiFi, utilities, heat and laundry are included. There are no contracts: stay a night, a week or a month. Some units are pet friendly. Pick Good, Better or Best, and book directly at our booking page.
The building itself is part of the appeal: an 1889 brownstone designed by Harry Wild Jones and restored in 2019, with original brick and woodwork still visible.
What else is on at the State Theatre and nearby?
The State Theatre stays busy. Postmodern Jukebox plays there on Wednesday, Nov. 11; see our guide to getting there without a car. For a December night on the same street, read our Sounds of Blackness guide.
